Our sense of smell plays a great role in attraction. It seems Mother Nature enabled us to sniff out our potential partner's DNA. We can tell by smell if someone is genetically similar to us or genetically different - and genetically different usually makes for healthier offspring.
How does this relate to the birth control pill? Women on the birth control pill are chemically pregnant. The theory goes that, if a woman is pregnant, she prefers to be around men that are related, that will presumably help protect the offspring. Studies shoe that women on the birth control pill prefer the smells of men that are genetically similar to them.
Saying that your birth control can be sabotaging your dating life may be putting it a little strongly, but it's safe to say that perhaps it is sabotaging Mother Nature's intentions at least a little bit.
